RISING ARTIST LÉA THE LEOX TEAMS UP WITH GENIUS DISTRO TO RELEASE DEBUT

Published

on

EP, PURPOSE, AVAILABLE NOW IN DOLBY ATMOS

Brockton, MA born, LA-based genre-defying artist LÉA (“Lay-Uh”) THE LEOX (23 years
old) joined forces with Genius Distro to release her highly anticipated debut EP, PURPOSE in
Dolby Atmos®. PURPOSE is now streaming via Genius Distro on all streaming platforms, and
available in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music, TIDAL, and Amazon Music.

On PURPOSE, LÉA states: “What started as thoughts in my diary, blossomed into the
PURPOSE EP. After reflecting and healing, I am so proud to present this body of work to the
world. I hope that everyone who hears this is reminded that they are valuable and cherished.”
Produced and mixed by ObieIII in Dolby Atmos, PURPOSE combines elements of R&B, Folk
and Pop, bringing true artistry back to the forefront. Throughout the project, LÉA’s silky tone and
luscious harmonies are reminiscent of Yebba and Moses Sumney while her diverse catalog
brings to mind Kehlani and Lucky Day.

Using real-life experiences as her inspiration, LÉA’s lyrics touch on the duality of the human and spiritual experience– making her vulnerable yet empowering, transient yet passionate. As a queer woman of color, LÉA owns her identity and sexuality, masterfully producing fresh takes on everyday themes.
“LÉA THE LEOX is an artist that has impressed us since the beginning of her music journey and
we feel like people will connect with her music, voice, and songwriting,” said Kayvan Daragheh,

Director of A&R at Genius Distro, “We’re excited to be a part of the journey and release of
Purpose.”

On Monday, May 15, 2023, music industry professionals and fans gathered at the Dolby
Screening Room in Los Angeles to have an exclusive first listen of PURPOSE in Dolby Atmos.
Attendees also enjoyed a mesmerizing live performance of “Purpose” and “When You’re Lonely”
by LÉA and ObieIII.

When enjoyed in Dolby Atmos, PURPOSE delivers an incredible immersive listening experience
for fans that deepens their connection with LÉA and her music. Dolby Atmos is an immersive
audio experience transforming how music is created and enjoyed. Dolby Atmos takes listeners
inside the music to reveal details with unparalleled clarity and depth. Whether it’s hearing the
layers of instruments move all around, catching the subtle breath a singer takes between lyrics,
or being enveloped in a wave of melodies, nothing compares to hearing music in Dolby Atmos.
LÉA’s latest single “Purpose,” title track of her EP, has garnered attention across press and
DSPs, including MTV’s Bop Shop, Spotify’s “Fresh Finds R&B,” and it peaked as #3 on
Audiomack, while the visualizer for her previous release, “When You’re Lonely,” offered the
perfect glimpse into the introspective world of the EP.

As one of the participants of Dolby’s Dolby Atmos Accelerator program, LÉA made waves at SXSW this year as a performer at Dolby House. LÉA also created additional buzz after her live performances at Highland Park Bowl, Culver Hotel LA, Adults Only LA, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Viper Room, Drom NYC,
The Rookery Chicago, and more.

After a long journey of self-discovery, LÉA is finally embracing her LEOX energy and is on track
to be the artist she was destined to be. Stay tuned for more from this rising star.

The new project promises to usher in the new era of hip-hop. “Rap music is in a dark place and I came to bring the light,” said Skywalker. “The type of music I make is best described as Outer Space Jedi-level rap shit.”

Black Skywalker and Chris Rosa produced the debut EP featuring the focus track “Pills and Alcohol”. The single describes a man battling depression and anxiety with prescription medicine and champagne.

The EP includes hard-hitting 808s, crackling snares, and spacey synths. “We in Love” is a melodic record with a bouncy bass and drums. However, the lyrics depict a flawed relationship due to social media and porn addiction.

“Therapy” is a song that touches on the struggles of life and the importance of seeking help. The production is interesting, with dark verses and uplifting hooks. The second verse highlights the benefits of opening up to a therapist and encourages others to do the same.

“Slide with Me” is a standout track from the EP with great production and an infectious hook. It narrates the story of falling in love with the woman of your dreams and has an upbeat vibe that sets it apart from the rest of the EP.
